Ella Baker Center for Human Rights The Ella Baker Center is named for an unsung hero of the civil rights movement who inspired and guided emerging leaders. We build on her legacy by giving people opportunities and skills to work together to strengthen our communities so that all of us can thrive. We are excited to have been invited to participate in a pilot project with You Tube to capture on-the-ground footage of community events, political news, and breaking developments in the Bay Area. These short movies are featured as our "WeReport" videos.
